You won't be disappointed!

Good concept, poorly executed.

Awesome Movie

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie is by Mark Rydler who has previously directed 'For the Boys' which starred Bette Midler. Some may remember it. But this movie is a step in the different direction. You may ask who he is, but unfortunately I don't have a clue either.Again we have another movie which dwells in to the subject matter of infidelity and extra marital affairs. For some this is a interesting genre, but for others it can be a boring issue. I have watched this for the second time and thus became tempted to post my feelings and thoughts on the movie. Sharon Stone is a fabulous actress, which is why I gave it a second watch. Of late she has aged so much that I miss the good old days !!.****************************SPOILERS AHEAD************************** However let me get to the point. The plot revolves around Richard Gere and his wife Sharon Stone who also have a daughter of age 13. At the start of the movie he has a car crash and we are whisked back in time and to constant flashbacks depicting his marriage life and relationship with the other woman in his life. This happens to be Lolita Davidowich. We are shown how he meets the women and how they fall in love. Gere's relationship with Stone is sour as time had progressed and soon she finds out about this. This puts him in decision making situation, as to whether to choose his wife or lover. Whether he survives or not is part of the climax of the movie.There is not much to offer in terms of plot or character development here though the movie does not focus much on Gere and Stone's marriage life. This had lead me to question as to how did sourness come in to their lives. Gere is first rate and his portrayal of the husband is very convincing. Stone I personally felt was wasted in role where there was more scope to perform. She hardly had any scenes. However she was brilliant which involved her being emotional and angry. Lolita Davidowich is a great actress and shadowed Stone. The movie's pace is too slow and from time to time on is curious to keep an eye on the watch to see how much time is left. Overall this is a average movie whereby the climax will only encourage the viewer to watch till the end.

The movie has a nice point and counterpoint about it. This movie and Gere's Unfaithful are sort of bookend pieces to each other. As Crash is to Grand Canyon. Guys will pigeon hole this as a chick flick. If you are not going to WATCH CLOSELY you will miss a lot esp towards the ending of Intersection.SPOILER hereVincent Eastman (Gere) can not seem to choose between two women. This is "what I have been doing and what those around me want me to do" versus "going after some one that will make me happy" stuff. His scene with the little red haired girl (2/3 of the way thru) is wonderful. Finally his decision is really made. On the way to his new life he reaches the intersection....The James Newton Howard score is terrific, and sadly, just try finding it anywhere! This movie and Gere's 'Unfaithful' are sort of bookend pieces to each other. As 'Crash' is to 'Grand Canyon'. Guys will pigeon hole this as a chick flick. If you are not going to WATCH CLOSELY you will miss a lot esp towards the ending of Intersection.

I thought this film was quite good, not slow or dull by any means. It's as solid and entertaining as most "top rated" modern films of similar genre. Maybe a bit too subtle for some people? There seems to be a problem with shortening attention spans.There is a well controlled air of the unknown through the whole thing. The rain-soaked scenery is compelling, the acting is realistic and the final sequence is powerfully done. You never quite know what's going to happen, which to me makes a good film.Did it get bad press before it was even released? I think people sometimes go in with a bias that has no explanation. Theaters themselves can spoil movies by way of unruly viewers and other distractions. Just going to the wrong place on the wrong night can give a movie a bad rep. Get a big screen TV or projector and tune all that out.

As a consummate and long-time fan of Richard Gere's, this was a 'must have' for me and the acquisition was not a disappointment. As usual, Richard gave an excellent performance, for which I am never disappointed. Sharon Stone and Lolita Davidovich were great choices for the female characters and effectively displayed the contrast between the personalities of the women. This movie contained real aspects to a person's dilemma's in relationships...from a sterile, business 'association' with his first wife to a passionate and truly loving 'real-life' affair with the woman he met in a chance encounter. The drama of the accident was well done and suspenseful. In the end, the most touching aspect was that neither woman wished to hurt the other by disclosing what they each believed to be true - both were loved and wanted. I enjoyed it very much and it is a much-watched movie in my home with all actors performing excellently. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a love story which is true to real-life.
